I called my nurse Monday morning to share the fantastic news that I had gotten a +HPT both Saturday and Sunday and wanted to see if I could come in earlier for the beta. She was very happy for me but said that it could still be the trigger shot (cue minor freak out === what if she's right?!?!) and she said they wanted to make sure there was enough HCG in my system to have a positive beta. So as I suspected, I'd be waiting the ENTIRE week before getting the beta done. My only consolation was that I had tons of pee sticks and I planned to take one each morning until my beta. Each day the line got darker until Thursday when it was finally darker than the control line. Friday morning, the morning of my beta, I took a digital and for the first time I got to see the word "pregnant" WITHOUT it saying NOT in front of it! I knew it would say that but it was still pretty awesome. After the beta I decided to stop peeing on things. It was real enough and even if the beta didn't double it would still be high enough to make 2 lines show up so it was no longer a good indicator of whether or not I was actually pregnant:P
I made a couple baby related purchases during the week. 1: more pee sticks, 2: What to expect when you're expecting and Belly Laughs books. I can't wait to start reading them and learning everything there is to learn about this pregnancy. Any other good pregnancy book recommendations?
